Details on the planned Alien: Covenant sequel Alien: Awakening have emerged

November 15, 2018 by Samuel Brace

Possible details for the sequel to Alien: Covenant have emerged, shedding light and what might be heading our way.

The Alien franchise is one of the most beloved, however, the future isn’t looking too bright for Ridley Scott’s film series in the aftermath of Alien: Covenant, a film which didn’t meet expectations at the box office.

Scott wants to make more films but at the moment the franchise is on hold. However, in an Empire Magazine Alien special (via HNEntertainment), details of Covenant‘s sequel, Alien: Awakening, have emerged. The film would have been written by John Logan. Empire reveals:

“Logan’s script would have seen the return of Prometheus‘ Engineers, with that species’ survivors coming after the genocidal David. Setting-wise, Scott said it was obvious, ‘We’re gonna actually go to the planet.’ By which we assume he means LV-426.”

Sadly for fans of the series, it doesn’t look like we will be getting this story anytime soon. Would you like to see Alien: Awakening should it ever see the light of day?
